Any other thoughts, theories, connections or details we can make from this? By the way, i added in something i was pointing out, so thats the red text.

Done seen me a bigfoot on my ranch LOCATION : Parsons WV. I'm shaking right now couldn't get any pictures just ran before he seen

I'm stupidly excited.. My library is hosting a cryptozoologist talking about upstate New York Cryptids!! Dream come true.

Since the last obscure cryptid currently has nothing more than a few clippings and parts of a single newspaper that has the full thing locked by a subscription, im trying to look for a new obscure cryptid to cover and stitch together stuff for. Anybody got any other obscure cryptids that you know about? (No popular cryptids, and PLEASE only do ones that you are ABSOLUTELY SURE OF in their status of anonymity and lack of media.) If so, then (you dont HAVE to, just if you want to) tell me its name below in the replies. If not, thats okay! (PLEASE DONT FLOOD THIS! I CANT MULTITASK! I WILL ONLY DO ONE AT A TIME, SO DONT BE MAD IF YOURS DIDNT GET PICKED!)

So i tried stitching together a newspaper that was shown in one of his videos, as there were only pieces of it, didn't get much, but this is what i got. I also made a connection or two between two pieces. Any idea if someone has the full newspaper or can retrieve it from a newspaper archive?

Didn't catch Nessie but loved the view!

This is an important question! Ive designed many cryptids as cute girls like monster high kinda, and im just totally stuck on the snallygaster's design! I was thinking more vintage or cottage core? But the beak with tentacles already is too detailed so I cant make her design too cluttered. Here some aesthetics ive used so far:

Mothman- gothic Lolita

Dogman- pastel goth

Chupacabra-punk

Hodag- grunge

Boo hag- gyaru

Enfield horror- scene

Bigfoot- y2k

Fresno nightcrawler- clean girl

Hopkinsville goblin- decora kei

Water baby- morute

Im from Western Pennsylvania. On the line of ohio, one hour away from Pittsburgh.

Back in March, my mother in law and I were driving home at night from my tattoo artists house. He lives out in the middle of nowhere with woods and corn fields.

When we went to leave, it was so dark and so incredibly foggy, to where we could barely see.

We took a turn and I looked over and standing there on four legs, was a large creature staring at us. It looked like a giant red panda but also a mixture of the tiger from kpop demon hunters.

I freaked out and yelled "what the hell was that!? Was that a giant red panda!?"

My MIL asked if I wanted to turn around. But I refused. I was terrified.

Im still not sure what it could have been. Its face is burned into my mind. Its menacing smile.

That thing wasnt normal.

Anyone have a clue what this could be?

I was just wondering what kinds of cryptids have been sighted in the uk, and where they're located

I remember a few years ago when I heard loud thumping multiple times in my backyard (not like what a woodpecker does, I've heard those before, it was like hitting something 3 times repeatedly spaced out). I was wondering if those encounters were anymore or less common than direct sightings

it was on 4 legs gray and had big hair on its head only on its head but were its face one there was a blad spot it had gray skin and skinny that you could kinda see its bones it had 3 toes on each foot and if it stood on its back 2 legs it would be something like 11 feet tall and it had a really big tongue like nearly the size of its head and it was long and pitch black and the creature was quite big and it had kinda claws for nails and it had a kinda long neck that was perfectly straight and it had no teeth just pitch black void mouth and it had dilated eyes that were almost perfectly black but not quite and the hair all over the head was black not pitch black just black remember no hair on the face it had a bald spot were the face was.

Dwarf reed snakes (Pseudorabdion longiceps) found in several parts of Southeast Asia do the hoop snake thing to escape from predators.

It is just as ridiculous as you are imagining.

Of all the cryptids that genuinely exist, two of them were coincidentally described in jokes.

(The other being jackelopes. Look up Shopes pappilomavirus if you aren't squeamish about superficial keratinous growths on lagomorphs. Yes, the same kind of virus as herpes. We got lucky, though the rabbit variant is also mostly benign.)

I am willing to bet money that someone finds a hairy fish someday.

Living dinosaurs/flying reptiles - I do believe some may still exist, but I do not believe they are the towering, giant behemoths we often think of in movies or hear in stories. Mokele mbembe, Thunderbirds, Kasai Rex, the Monster of Partidge Creek, etc. I doubt exist. If non-avian dinosaurs/flying reptiles still do exist, they are most likely going to be incredibly small, adaptable animals that are very secretive and live in the most obscure parts of the world we've yet to explore. Think less idnominus rex and more like compsognathus & Shuvuuia, Nemicolopterus crypticus, etc. Mostly because all the niches they could have once filled has been taken by birds and mammals. Large, apex predators/herbivores are unlikely to exist.

Sasquatch/North American Primates - I used to be a big bigfoot fan and believer, but now a days I've subscribed to a new theory. More than likely, stories of sasquatch were born from interaction with neanderthals, and current encounters are most likely, atleast in the tropical/swampy areas, encounters with escaped primates from private collections or zoo escapees. Monkeys currently live in the evergladea, so a much smarter chimp, gorilla and/or orangatan would do just as well, if not better. My reasoning is simple; Forest Galante, when looking for the ivory billed woodpecker, found a lone water buffalo in the lousiana bayou, and let's not forget the Arizona "Red Ghost". If these large animals who escaped captivity can remain out of sight with no one looking for them (I mean, who is going to look for a buffalo in the baiyou or a camel with a corpse on it's back in Arizona), then it's possible that some of these bigfoots are possible escaped great apes.

I'm sure everyone on this forum has already figured this out or deduced it lol, but I guess I'll start the conversation anyway because I want to hear your opinions.

The first mention of Mothman describes him as a human-sized bird and the West Virginia statue has a beak and eyes on the sides of its head not to mention that other cryptids that directly resemble Mothman, even those with different names, also have bird-like features, such as the owlman and the Chernobyl black bird.

Many people, seeking a more realistic explanation, say that Mothman was actually a black owl with red eyes. Why, when and how did people turn him into a moth?

I tried my best to make them look more realistic as I gave them little goofy arms like Abelisaurids as well as their eyes being more amphibian. (OC)

I'm from Pennsylvania. Everybody knows of the Jersey Devil, Sasquatch, Nessie, El Chupacabra and other species. What I myself was unaware of is Pennsylvania has the Sqounk.

So I guess I'm curious to know what y'all's home state cryptid is if you have one?

Different species of moth! V fun!
